Description
In a world where perfection is the ultimate goal, a dark and eerie folklore has been created to justify the prohibition of illness and difference. But beneath the earth, a rebellion is brewing. Ora's fascination with the mythical Vulpine, fox-like monsters who live below ground, is rooted in her desire to be genetically perfect, just like her best friend Casta and his family. However, when Casta's baby sister disappears, Ora's world is turned upside-down. Her mother reveals a long-buried secret: Ora herself has a genetic illness that affects her lungs. Desperate for answers and sanctuary, Ora sets out to find the fabled Vulpine, discovering a hidden world that challenges everything she thought she knew. This powerful story is about stepping into your power and creating a better world, with a cast of disabled heroes. A chilling dystopian world filled with eerie science fiction and a sweet, slow-burn romance, The Vulpine is a unique and thought-provoking tale that will leave you questioning the true meaning of perfection.
